Design that Matters (DtM), a non-profit based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, forms cooperative partnerships with organizations in developing countries to create world class products, enabling them to offer improved services and scale. A trail-blazer in creating designs for social impact, DtM has built a state-of-the-art open and collaborative design process through which hundreds of volunteer and reduced-rate collaborators in academia and industry donate their expertise and resources to the creation of breakthrough products for communities in need.

Our deep commitment to social impact compels us to partner with organizations that have extensive local community connections and proven ability to make and distribute solutions with systemic effects. Over the past decade, with the help of over 850 collaborators, DtM has transformed each of our partner organizations through the launch of products that improve the quality of life for beneficiaries in Africa and Asia, and has inspired countless others to do the same.
